Gohrisch, Summit in Saxon Switzerland, Germany
The Gohrisch mountain rises to 440 meters above sea level, featuring sandstone formations that protrude from dense forest landscapes in eastern Saxony.
The mountain gained geological importance during the formation of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, resulting from marine sediments deposited 100 million years ago.
Dmitri Shostakovich composed his String Quartet No. 8 at Gohrisch in 1960, leading to the establishment of annual International Shostakovich Days.
Numerous marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with access points from the nearby municipalities of Bad Schandau and Königstein.
The mountain exhibits a flat tabletop structure with vertical walls, forming part of a series of elevated plateaus in the Saxon Switzerland National Park.
